Made this out of some thick acrylic and about an hours work w/ the drill press and tap. Any Interest? lol This board is full of entraprenuers(?spelling) like me!

 

damn, looks nice, but i'll stick with my flanenco-T kit, cuz i already have it

 

no thank you ... oil doesnt look that pretty ..

 

has it been tested?

 

nope, just made it a few minutes ago. I cant see why it wont work though, little nylon tape and it'll be set, definately wont strip or anything, tuff stuff.

Its an easy way to check and see if your oil is dirty yet!

 

are the 2 bolts through it just for mounting?

 

exactly. That's one thing i've noticed on alot of peoples home made ones; zipties hold them on. I'm going to make a vaccum distribution manifold that matches tomorrow.

 

didn't you already make it?

lol. This is oil feed. I'm going to make one w/ barbed fittings, probably 6 of them or so. same concept, longer though.

oh i get it... im saying... didn't you already make a vacuum manifold? like 3 weeks ago?

 

props to a fellow fabricator

 

how does acrilic hold up to heat and oil, will it turn y ellow, etcc etcc, also even though you added holes fot a nut and bolt combo itll still be pretty hard to bolt it up to anything such as a firewall and what not unless you want to go through the hassle of drilling through the fire wall and adding a nut and bolt on both sides, this will require 2 people. plus it seems like a pain in the *** .. congrats on making somethign, i know i love making **** ( i just made a 3 point strut bar for my car).

 

Acrylic softens under heat. So when you run hot oil through acrylic plastic, you will most likely have an oil leak between the threads. Let's not forget your acrylic block will be under good amount of oil pressure.
And who knows what kind of chemical reaction will be present when you mix acrylic with oil....hmmm....

 

Looks pretty but considering crack propagation in Acrylic material add some sharp angle cuts then apply heat and pressure. No thanks. Still pretty though
